P. v. Rodriguez CA6
According to the probation report, the victim was working at a convenience store when Rodriguez and another man came in, pointed a gun at the victim, and demanded all of the money. The victim complied. Rodriguez and the other man attempted to bind the victim’s hands and told him not to move or call the police, or they would come back and kill him and his family. Rodriguez and the other man fled by car, and were later seen running a stop sign. An officer attempted to stop the car, but the two refused to stop. A vehicle pursuit ensued. Officers observed objects, including a firearm, cash, and ammunition, being thrown out of the car. The pursuit took approximately 56 miles and reached speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour until the suspect vehicle crashed. Rodriguez initially declined to speak about the offense, but later admitted that he was a Sureño gang member and that he and the other man planned the robbery.
